Dr Abu Sakara urges African youth to seize global upheaval for economic emancipation

Former presidential candidate and Pan-Africanist Dr Foster Abu Sakara has called on African youth to seize the current global upheaval to advance the continent's economic emancipation. Speaking at the ISSER Conference Hall at the University of Ghana, Dr Abu Sakara highlighted how the existing global economic and political architecture constrains Africa, urging the youth to push for greater control over trade, resources, and economic opportunities before a new global structure emerges.

He emphasized that while Africans are no longer physically bound by slavery and colonialism, they remain constrained by economic and political systems that limit their development. Dr Abu Sakara urged young Africans to recognize the strategic opening presented by the current contest among global powers and act before the global system settles into another structure that could again constrain the continent.
